Essential Skeleton – An Excellent iPad App for Students

Essential Skeleton is a free iPad app that students studying the human skeletal system should download. The app puts a 3D skeleton on your students’ iPads. Students can zoom-in, zoom-out, and rotate the skeleton 360 degrees. When students zoom-in and tap on a bone they will see its name in English and Latin, have the option to hear an audio pronunciation of the bone’s name, learn about the connected bones, and write their own notes about the highlighted bone.

Essential Skeleton is free to download and use. The developers offer a number of related apps that you may want to try. iMuscle might make a good companion to Essential Skeleton.
